Our agencies work in partnership with a wide variety of groups and individuals to protect America’s natural and cultural resources. Many National Parks, National Forests, wildlife refuges and other facilities have established partnerships with Cooperating Associations and Friends Groups of dedicated citizens. These groups lend their time, expertise, and resources to support the programs of these facilities.
